Discover Search
Discover is a great tool
- for beginning and novice researchers
- you are just getting started and want to explore a topic
- unsure the direction or more specific topic you want to research
- want to know which databases hold content on your topic
- want to know which journals publish content on your topic
Once you have some research parameters set, it is advisable to leave Discover and conduct your search in one of the Discipline Specific Databases, or Subject Databases. Your results will be much more targeted, PLUS you gain some useful analytics to help you strengthen your research even more.
Subject Databases
can offer a much more targeted and refined search than a full Discover Search. You also gain some analytic tools that can be very helpful to your research. Below is a list of suggested subject databases for science fields.
